Minneapolis fire crews fight three-story apartment blaze
More than 20 people were evacuated from their homes.
MINNEAPOLIS — Minneapolis Fire worked to extinguish a blaze in a three-story apartment building on Monday morning.
Around 3:30 a.m., officials posted on X that they responded to a fire at the 1600 block of Plymouth Ave. N. They said heavy fire was showing on the first and second floors, and the burn triggered a second — more severe — alarm.
Eleven units were impacted and more than 20 people evacuated. Minneapolis Fire posted that a bus arrived to shelter the displaced residents, and Red Cross was called for additional help.
Officials said that until the units are fixed, residents will not be back to live in them.
By 4 a.m., fire crews posted that the bulk of the fire was extinguished on the first and second floors, but they continued to fight the blaze on the third floor and roofline. Officials say the fire seems to have started outside and moved inside the building, but the cause does not seem suspicious.
This is a developing story and will be updated as more information is posted.
